Will it be possible to post comments to Launchpad, and not have them 
automatically posted to bugzilla?

I sometimes post Linaro-specific details to the Launchpad bug which 
would be meaningless noise in upstream bugzilla. The bug is linked 
because the problem is the same, but typically the source-base is 
different, and/or we want to add additional tracking details, or whatever.

e.g. I don't think bugzilla readers are interested in a comment like 
"Bug targeted at Linaro x.x release", or "Patch committed to 
lp:gcc-linaro/4.5 revision 99456".
